 ANIX currently only exists in prototypical //“Research ANIX”// form. Some components like the [[gh>https://github.com/HumphreyBoaGart/dotfiles|GUI]] are already being distributed, whereas other components are still bound to their owner's local machines. Other parts, such as an installer or RISC-V port, are still completely theoretical. ANIX currently only exists in prototypical //“Research ANIX”// form.

 ANIX was the collision of several ongoing projects by myself and a few Anons that I occasionally trade software with. In order to fulfill our myriad job, hacking & security needs, we had all begun independently developing homebrew solutions based on the vast open-source software library of the UNIX/BSD/Linux-world. ANIX was the collision of several ongoing projects by myself and a few Anons that I occasionally trade software with.

-By the end of 2024, we all realized that the sum total of our independent efforts comprised nearly an entire operating system, and one which could rival more bloated distros like [[arms:kali|Kali Linux]] and [[arms:parrot|Parrot OS]]. All that remained was to put the pieces together in the storied halls of the investment-friendly **Best Point Military Institute** - //A 501©(3)(pending) non-profit scientific & educational organization//, which by this point had acquired the research & insight of all the various short-lived //"Anonymous OS"// projects from years long past.+By the end of 2024, we all realized that the sum total of our independent efforts comprised nearly an entire operating system, and one which could rival more bloated distros like Kali Linux and Parrot OS.

When you are done, you will have a lean and mean operating system that is geared for professionals. ANIX is going to make infosec fun again.

 This provides an excellent opportunity for those looking to improve their Linux and [[tools:bash|command-line]] skills, as building Research ANIX will take you through the basics of how Linux works. And, by building your own custom Linux install, you will be following in the tradition of America's trade schools which have historically made students build their own toolboxes as a graduating rite-of-passage. This provides an excellent opportunity for those looking to improve their Linux and [[tools:bash|command-line]] skills, as building Research ANIX will take you through the basics of how Linux works.

 Research ANIX is a Linux distribution, and like all Linux distributions it is composed of [[tactics:unix-philosophy|many tiny software packages]]. ANIX veers towards simplicity, preferring simple packages with minimal dependencies. Those who have used Linux for a long time may find ANIX is more akin to the “old way” of doing things, though it still takes advantage of a modern Debian base. Research ANIX is a Linux distribution, and like all Linux distributions it is composed of [[tactics:unix-philosophy|many tiny software packages]].

-The following list of packages is a **guideline**. //It is not a complete set of step-by-step instructions!// You should be at least somewhat-familiar with [[diy:linux|Linux]] before attempting to do this. +As the ANIX spec is about to undergo a total overhaul in order to escape the sinister clutches of SystemD, we do not have a draft of **Version 3** of the specification ready yet. In the meantime you can still try building [[tools:anix:rav2|Version 2]]. Keep in mind that //it is not a complete set of step-by-step instructions!// You should be at least somewhat-familiar with [[diy:linux|Linux]] before attempting to do this.

-This specification will be updated periodically as Research ANIX becomes a more cohesive product. This heading will be re-signed as it is updated. — //[[user:hbg|Humphrey Boa-Gart]] 2025/01/04 22:34// +

-Since the publication of this specification, Debian is now on version 13. Research ANIX will be standardizing on 13 instead of 12. This document will eventually be updated to reflect that. — //[[user:hbg|Humphrey Boa-Gart]] 2025/09/15 23:53// +
